Maehle, Gregor: - Gregor started his yogic practices in the late 1970s. In the mid- 80s he commenced yearly travels to India, where he learned from various yogic and tantric masters, traditional Indian sadhus and ascetics. He lived many years as a recluse, studying Sanskrit and yogic scripture and practicing yogic techniques. Gregor's textbook series consisting of Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy, Ashtanga Yoga: The Intermediate Series, Pranayama: The Breath of Yoga, Yoga Meditation: Through Mantra, Chakras and Kundalini to Spiritual Freedom, and Samadhi The Great Freedom have sold over 85,000 copies worldwide and so far have been translated into eight languages. His blog articles can be found at www.chintamaniyoga.com. Today Gregor integrates all aspects of yoga into his teaching in the spirit of Patanjali and T. Krishnamacharya. His zany sense of humour, manifold personal experiences, vast and in-depth knowledge of scripture, Indian philosophies, and yogic techniques combine to make Gregor's teachings easily applicable, relevant, and accessible to his students.
